About Calabaza
Calabaza, often referred to as West Indian pumpkin, is a vibrant orange-fleshed squash native to tropical and subtropical regions like the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. It holds a prominent place in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, where it's used in soups, stews, and desserts. Rich in essential nutrients, calabaza is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, both of which support immune health and skin vitality. It also provides dietary fiber for digestive health and potassium for maintaining heart function and proper muscle contractions. Calabaza is naturally low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy addition to meals. Its mildly sweet flavor and creamy texture make it versatile and appealing for a variety of dishes. While generally nutritious, preparation methods involving added sugars, fats, or heavy creams can impact its health benefits.
